So, now that there's an actual panting subforum, I decided to move my repaints here!

First up, here's my Vader:

And here's my Stormtroopers:

Nice what did you use for the dirt on the stormtroopers legs? Is it a brown powder pigment or something?

Have you considered using gloss varnish on the white parts of the armor... it really does wonders at re creating the shine of the Imperial armor.

I wish I was a faster painter I still only have one full squad of my stormies done

Thanks! What I lack in skill I make up for in speed!

The dirt on the legs is actually just a little bit of Agrax Earthshade. I used a little bit of brush-on gloss varnish on the helmets, chest, and shoulders, but I didn't feel like going too heavy on that since these guys turned out kind of dirty, weathered, and battle-scarred so I was afraid too much gloss wouldn't make sense with all the dirt and scuffs. But yeah, looking at them again, I think there's definitely a few spots that would benefit from some more gloss!

I also wasn't sure of the basing material on any of these - I might end up redoing it in desert, since I kind of like the look of desert terrain.

This may be an odd question but how are these repaints? Unpainted figures can hardly be repainted...

Heh, sorry. Came here from X-Wing, where most people's threads in the painting subforum are titled "(so-and-so-person)'s repaints".
